Zanussi ZT 685 - Manual (Page 6)

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions
remove all packaging from inside the appliance
set the water softener
fill the salt container
fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener
designed to remove minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse
effect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees and French degrees.
The softener should be adjusted according to the
hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water
Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area.
If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt. (In this case the salt refill
indicator light will remain illuminated).
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
You may change the factory setting level setting by
means of the wash programme selector buttons. Each
button corresponds to a different level (see chart).
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
- Press the "NORMAL 65°c" and "QUICK 50°c"
programme buttons simultaneously for about 5
seconds until the short signal "instruction accepted" is
heard. The pilot light corresponding to the current
level (level 2) flashes very rapidly.
- Press the programme button corresponding to the
required level.
- 5 seconds after having last pressed any of the
programme buttons, the dishwasher memorises the
level selected and returns to the programme setting
mode.
